Within our polished and distinguished lives, we have a forbidden segment that society does not want to talk about. In fact, the forbidden subjects find a reclusive and repellent way of surviving in a society that’s made with rules and for people, who follow such rules. It is desirable and despised in the same breath,Continue reading “(Mis)Concept of Taboo”

Meri Pyaari Bindu..
Ruled. Liberated. Survived. Evolving. Such moments of torrential history, and my life.
Twin Scare
Veronica I am not a great believer in the occult. But, there have been times of mesmerising helplessness when I start adoring the devil which ceases to exist without the goodness around us. But, Veronica has nothing to do with goodness, though. It’s about pain, recklessness, human disdain and much beyond, our hemisphere. I thoughtContinue reading “Twin Scare”
Resonance
Looking through the lens, the sun shone bright and undisputed. She smiles through the dawn, looking at my eyes with hopes to survive, relinquish and live to see the next sunrise. After all, she lives to see the ups and downs. Survival amidst desires. The sparkling waters, the residing boats, the tempered waves, the towingContinue reading “Resonance”
Shining Corners
Chiseled in times, ravaged by war, a witness to the independence movement and surviving amidst troubled celebration. The monument stands and shines, devoid of percussion, beneath and over. Sans you, sans me. What is left of is platelets of the past and some enormous little moments.
A Revered Adieu
“Tread not in the by-lanes of the belittle ones, you will only be ripped off of your untainted glory and the very reason for your sublime existence”. @msksmiles “Vultures can hunt, eagles can prey, tigers will prowl. Only a saint will consume all the adultery and exude sanity for the baffled minds”. – @msksmiles IContinue reading “A Revered Adieu”

One of those mercurial and prodigious actors who was able to transcend boundaries successfully and with so much grace, Sridevi used her strong foundation from Tamil films to foray in to Hindi cinema and was able to hone her wayContinue reading “Chandni. Forever.”

The Curious Case of Netaji
The last couple of weeks saw Google bestowing tributes on a Russian filmmaker and a Mexican Diva. Today, I saw a Nigerian football icon grabbing this honor. Google Doodle, thank you! But I was surprised and disappointed to see that we conveniently forgot to acknowledge that today also happens to be the birthday of aContinue reading “The Curious Case of Netaji”
Netflix – My New IMAX
I love Cinema. Cinema is education and emancipation in the same terrain. Big screen cinema is what I live for. But in the last 18 months, I see it differently. You call it priorities or indulgence, big screen doesn’t woo me any more. Streaming is the new moolah in the streets of movie goons theseContinue reading “Netflix – My New IMAX”
Women of Steel
The year started off with perseverance and oozes of energy. The story goes like this. Well, it’s not a story to begin with. I must say this, it was an eye opener for mortals like us who just get waned away with dwindled pleasures. I met 2 women. Well, I can say they are wellContinue reading “Women of Steel”
Inevitable 2018, Hello!
2017 was a roller coaster year. Well, I can call it adventurous and tumultuous in the same breath. Yes, you might argue that these expressions don’t quite sit adjacent to each other. But at times, our derivatives stand flawed and undisputed. Strange are the ways of life, so was 2017. Indulgent, attractive, celebrated. Sometimes, weContinue reading “Inevitable 2018, Hello!”
